Patterson: Plan will collect taxes on those who don't file

Plan will collect taxes on those who don't file

In watching the news recently on one of the local channels, I completely disagreed with the woman being interviewed about Gov. Bobby Jindal's tax reform.

I think a sales tax is the only fair way to tax people because that way everyone pays their fair share into the system. I would imagine that the woman in the report has enough loopholes that she pays very little tax now, and if we had the sales tax she would pay her fair share and the same goes for anyone else that is against doing away with income tax and using a sales tax.

The so-call rich will still pay a lot more than others; it will even get rid of their loopholes in filing their tax returns. It will also save a lot of money on people having to go through all the tax forms that are filed.

There are people that have a lot more money coming in than I do, and they don't even file a return to start with; these people would pay their fair share of tax under Jindal's plan.
